Dental implants are considered the best solution to a missing tooth, providing the same level of function and aesthetic as a real tooth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a cutting-edge solution in modern dentistry, offering a permanent way to replace missing teeth. Unlike standard dentures or bridges that only replace the crowns of missing teeth, dental implants are bionic tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium.
They are surgically placed directly into your jawbone, creating a secure foundation for replacement teeth that mimics natural tooth roots. This innovative approach not only restores your smile but also prevents the common issue of bone loss that can occur when tooth roots are missing.
Why Might I Need Dental Implants?
There are several reasons why you might consider dental implants:
Tooth Loss:
Tooth loss can result from various factors, including gum disease, tooth decay, accidents, or injuries.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Preventing Bone Loss:
Without tooth roots to stimulate it, the jawbone can start to resorb or shrink over time.
Dental implants help prevent this bone loss, preserving the natural contours of your face and ensuring the stability of your new teeth.
What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer a range of benefits, making them a compelling choice for tooth replacement:
Natural Look and Feel:
Implants look and feel like your natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural and confident smile.
Stability and Durability:
The titanium implants fuse with your jawbone, creating a stable and long-lasting foundation for your new teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Improved Functionality:
Implants restore full functionality to your mouth, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence. There’s no worry about dentures slipping or discomfort.
Preventing Further Complications: Replacing missing teeth with dental implants helps maintain your overall dental and general health by preventing complications that can arise from tooth loss.
The Procedure
The dental implant process involves several key steps:
The Assessment:
During your initial consultation at Stoke Bishop Dental Centre, our experienced implant dentist, Dr Wilson will assess your suitability for treatment.
This includes evaluating your bone density to determine if any additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are necessary to rebuild your jawbone before implant placement.
The Treatment:
The placement of dental implants is a meticulously planned procedure, carried out by our skilled implant surgeon.
Depending on your unique case, some patients can have their permanent new teeth attached on the same day as implant placement, while others may require a healing period of a few months.
The Restoration Process:
Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, the final restoration process takes place.
Your dental implants and the new teeth attached to them will look and function just like natural teeth. You’ll be able to smile, laugh, eat, and speak with confidence, knowing your new smile is secure and reliable.
If you’re considering dental implants in Bristol, we’re here to provide honest assessments and expert guidance on the best solution for your unique needs.
Our commitment to your dental health and wellbeing is at the core of our practice.
For personalised guidance and to explore your dental implant options, schedule a consultation with Dr Wilson at Stoke Bishop Dental Centre today.
Unlike dentures, which are a removable treatment, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and become a permanent part of your body. They truly are one of the most significant and life-changing developments in modern dentistry to date.
